Is it painful to treat pulpitis?

No. Treatment is carried out under local anesthesia, which completely turns off sensitivity. If desired, we add sedation with nitrous oxide or general anesthesia - you will relax or fall asleep for a while procedures.

Is it possible to cure pulpitis in one visit?

In most cases, yes. Modern protocols allow you to go through, process and fill the canals in one visit. In complex cases (many canals, curved roots, retreatment) we do it in 2 visits.

What will happen if you do not treat pulpitis?

Inflammation will spread beyond the apex of the root - periodontitis will develop. A granuloma or cyst will form on the root, and bone destruction will begin. In the worst case, the tooth will have to be removed and replaced with an implant.

How much does treatment of pulpitis cost in Tashkent?

The cost depends on the number of canals in the tooth (1, 2, 3 or 4), the complexity of the case, the need for re-treatment and restoration. We fix the exact estimate after diagnosis at the consultation. Caries is often painless, but pulpitis almost always causes acute pain. Treatment of pulpitis is more difficult and longer than treatment of caries.

What should I do if my tooth hurts, but I can't see a doctor right now?

Take a pain reliever (for example, ibuprofen, if there are no contraindications), do not heat the sore tooth, do not lie on it. side. Try to make an appointment with the dentist as early as possible - without treatment, the pain will intensify, and the inflammation will turn into periodontitis.

Is it possible to save a tooth without removing the nerve?

In some cases - with deep caries, when the pulp is not yet inflamed - we use a biological method: a therapeutic pad preserves the vitality of the pulp. The decision is made based on the results. diagnostics.

Will the tooth last long after treatment of pulpitis?

Yes, with high-quality canal filling and sealed restoration, a pulpless tooth becomes more fragile, so if there is significant tissue loss, we recommend covering it with a crown or ceramic inlay - this will increase the lifespan many times over. services.

Pulpitis treatment in Tashkent

Treatment of pulpitis

Pulpitis is an inflammation of the pulp, the soft tissue inside the tooth in which blood vessels and nerves pass. Most often, pulpitis develops as a complication of deep caries: the infection reaches the pulp and causes acute, throbbing pain. If left untreated, the inflammation passes beyond the root apex, and the tooth begins to destroy the bone - granulomas, cysts, periodontitis. At KAN Dental Clinic we treat pulpitis under a microscope: we see all the canals, remove the inflamed tissue without excessive loss of the tooth walls and fill the canals tightly, according to a hot protocol. At the request of the patient, we work with local anesthesia, under sedation with nitrous oxide or in sleep - the treatment takes place without pain and stress. The average appointment time is 60-90 minutes, as a rule, we do it in 1-2. visit.

What is pulpitis

Pulp is the “heart” of the tooth: a bundle of vessels and nerves that nourishes dental tissues and transmits sensations. When an infection enters the pulp through a carious cavity or microcrack, it becomes inflamed. Inflammation in a confined space of the tooth quickly becomes painful - hence the characteristic throbbing, “tugging” pain pulpitis.

### Types of pulpitis

Acute pulpitis - paroxysmal throbbing pain, especially at night. The pain intensifies from hot, sometimes from cold, radiates to the temple or ear.
Chronic. pulpitis - less pronounced, but long-lasting aching pain. The tooth can react to temperature stimuli, but does not cause acute discomfort. It is dangerous because it occurs hidden and often turns into periodontitis.
Pulpitis after injury - develops after a blow, bruise or chip of a tooth. Sometimes symptoms appear after weeks. months.
Pulpitis under the filling - occurs if the caries has not been completely cured or the filling is leaky some time after treatment.

Treatment of pulpitis is carried out for almost all patients, but there are situations that require preparation or a special approach:

Pregnancy - treatment is permissible, but in the 2nd trimester and with gentle anesthesia; we try to refrain from x-rays, we use visiograph with a minimum dose
Allergy to anesthetics - tell your doctor before the visit, we will select an alternative
Heart and vascular diseases - we select an anesthetic without adrenaline, if necessary, we treat in conditions observations
Severe dental phobia - we suggest sedation with nitrous oxide or treatment in sleep
The tooth is destroyed below the gum line - removal and subsequent implantation may be required, we decide on; 3D image

How we treat pulpitis in KAN - 6 stages

Diagnostics

We take a targeted image or CBCT, in difficult cases - Diagnocat AI analysis. We determine the number and shape of root canals, the condition of the tissue at the apex of the root, identify hidden canals and possible cysts.

Anesthesia

Under local anesthesia (with nitrous oxide sedation or general anesthesia, if desired), we completely turn off sensitivity. The treatment takes place without. pain.
